Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

I've just prayed and I have a biology exam, a art history report, and a Arabic quiz tomrrow so at least I have something to keep me busy through out the day. I've already voted, all Democrat, and I've even voted for taxes that had do with supporting a fire station somewhere in Baton Rogue so I've done my deed.
You know what I'm really scared about? You know those PS As with R.D.J and Chris Evans about voting today and that PSA against Drumpf? I'm really scared that if that piece of shit wins, he'll screw them over.
Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.Anyone else daydreaming about Trump having a Villainous Breakdown tonight? Like, to throw out a far-fetched example, screaming at Fox News anchors about Pence rigging the election against him, and they don't take it seriously?

That would be beautiful. Sadly, Fox usually presents a much more professional face during election day, I don't think they'll go for it.

| Wandering, but not lost. | If people bring so much courage to this world...◊ |I think it depends on the magnitude of his loss. If Trump only loses because one or two states went to Clinton, we might have trouble. If Clinton gets 300+ E Vs, Pence and Ryan will at least concede for him.
Fox generally keeps a straight face during a loss, remember how they shut down Karl Rove's temper tantrum four years ago?

Apparently the Romney campaign's internal polling had artificially corrected for what they believed was a pro-Obama bias in third-party polls, when it turned out the public ones were pretty much on target. -

The damned queen and the relentless knight.How many hours left before the final result will be up?

I'm actually not surprised his approval ratings are going up. People hated him when there was no other option but now that they see either Trump or Clinton people are thinking "Okay, he wasn't that bad..."
